Andy Hanson (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and his brother Hank
(Ethan Hawke), both are in bad debts. They decide to hatch a perfect plan, with
no guns, no violence, no glitches and of course a big pay off.

Only Hank hesitates and decides to bring Bobby Lasorda
(Brian F. O’Byrne) in on the job, who carries a gun. And instead of Doris, the
usual help, that day their mother Nanette (Rosemary Harris) was in the store,
and she pulls a hidden gun herself once she understands she’s being robbed- it
ends with Bobby dead and their mom in a coma and dead a week later. But even
after the police have had their fill, their father Charles (Albert Finney),
Nanette’s widower, suspects that something still doesn’t add up…

The 2007 psychological crime-drama was Sidney Lumet’s last
feature film before he died in 2011. The title comes from the Irish saying:
"May you be in heaven a full half-hour before the devil knows you're
dead".
